[PATCH] Call emergency_reboot from panic

2005-07-26T21:35:43Z

We know the system is in trouble so there is no question if this is an emergecy :) Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] kdump: Use real pt_regs from exception

2005-06-25T23:24:54Z

Makes kexec_crashdump() take a pt_regs * as an argument. This allows to get exact register state at the point of the crash. If we come from direct panic assertion NULL will be passed and the current registers saved before crashdump. This hooks into two places: die(): check the conditions under which we will panic when calling do_exit and go there directly with the pt_regs that caused the fatal fault. die_nmi(): If we receive an NMI lockup while in the kernel use the pt_regs and go directly to crash_kexec(). We're probably nested up badly at this point so this might be the only chance to escape with proper information.

[PATCH] kexec: add kexec syscalls

2005-06-25T23:24:48Z

This patch introduces the architecture independent implementation the sys_kexec_load, the compat_sys_kexec_load system calls. Kexec on panic support has been integrated into the core patch and is relatively clean. In addition the hopefully architecture independent option crashkernel=size@location has been docuemented. It's purpose is to reserve space for the panic kernel to live, and where no DMA transfer will ever be setup to access.

[SPARC]: Stop-A printk cleanup

2005-04-25T03:38:02Z

This patch is incredibly trivial, but it does resolve some of the user confusion as to what "L1-A" actually is. Clarify printk message to refer to Stop-A (L1-A). Gentoo has a virtually identical patch in their kernel sources. Signed-off-by: Tom 'spot' Callaway Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[PATCH] Update panic() comment

2005-03-13T08:45:30Z

panic() doesn't flush the filesystem cache anymore. The comment above the function still claims it does. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] panic_blink and i8042 unloading

2004-11-07T12:12:12Z

At unload i8042 sets panic_blink to 0. This will cause problems if kernel panics later as it will just use it assuming that the pointer is correct. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Add panic blinking to 2.6

2004-11-02T07:07:18Z

This patch readds the panic blinking that was in 2.4 to 2.6. This is useful to see when you're in X that the machine has paniced It addresses previously criticism. It should work now when the keyboard interrupt is off. It doesn't fully emulate the handler, but has a timeout for this case.

[PATCH] taint on bad_page

[PATCH] taint: fix forced rmmod

[PATCH] x86-64/i386: add mce tainting

2004-10-19T01:14:38Z

This patch adds machine check tainting. When a handled machine check occurs the oops gets a new 'M' flag. This is useful to ignore machines with hardware problems in oops reports. On i386 a thermal failure also sets this flag. Done for x86-64 and i386 so far. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
